Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the season. This year, it is a bit more exciting for me because both of my children are home together for the first time since the middle of August. I have had quite a few chuckles already listening to them bicker over something silly. However, I have really enjoyed watching them reconnect and share stories of their college exploits. These things for which I am thankful this year cost absolutely nothing! All I need to do is sit back and take in the sights and sounds that remind me that as corny as it may sound, I have every thing I need when I know that my kids are happy and healthy.

I hope all of you find something for which you can be thankful and enjoy a true day of Thanksgiving!

The Election is Over - Yeah!

After record turnouts across the country for a historic election, the people have spoken! After two years of campaigning and mudslinging the election is over. We are through with the nasty commercials, and maybe we will experience some healing and repairing. Heaven knows this country needs healing and repairing.

My voting experience was uneventful. I must have picked a great time to cast my vote because the line was minimal. I had already made my decisions for the presidential and local elections so I didn't spend much time in the booth. It was pretty much in and out.

I have my reservations about the outcome. Maybe I am jaded, but I am hard pressed to believe that any one administration will be able to do what this one has promised, but I suppose one can always hope.

What are your thoughts, concerns and hopes? How was your voting experience....any problems or clear sailing? Did everyone in your house vote along the same line? What do you think about the media coverage? What will we all do now?

Have You Zazzled?

Are you a shopper? Are you an artist? How about someone who has a bit of creativity and likes to mix it with the computer? Pay a visit to Zazzle.

It is a marketplace with a host of greeting cards with matching postage, specialty Keds, posters, aprons, mugs and the list goes on and on. It is a pretty interesting place to visit for both shoppers and creators. It is similar to Cafe Press.

As an extension to my wicking sleepwear business, Lunar Radiance, I thought I would dabble over at Zazzle with a focus on Baby Boomer Divas. It's never too soon to start looking for a unique little something that's not too expensive for someone special.

So....grab a cup of coffee, CLICK HERE, and take a trip to Zazzle! Here is an example of a birthday card perfect for a boomer lady's birthday or a mug after a boomer girl's heart! These are a couple of my creations!

Online Shopping in a Bad Economy

I love shopping on line! Obviously, since I have my own internet retail business selling wicking pajamas and wicking nightgowns, I am not afraid to fill my cart, pull out my card and click "complete transaction" on everything from tablewear to underwear.

Shopping online is cost effective, secure and easy. Even when it may be time to tighten our belts a bit, we still need to buy items. Women will continue to have night sweats and holiday shopping will still need to get done. So, why not look for the most cost and time efficient way to do so?

• I love being able to take my time and browse a "store" at my leisure no matter what the time day or night.
• I like having the ability to get answers to my questions regarding returns, colors, sizes etc. simply by "clicking" a link. I don't need to trudge through a store looking for someone to help me. If worse comes to worse, I just call the toll free number listed to have my question answered.
• My time is valuable, so shopping conveniently for me is a blessing, and given the cost of gas, I am all about saving money by not using my car to drive all over town.
• Prices are competitive online. Internet retailers know that it is EASY to do a price comparison. So in a bad economy when everyone is looking for a deal, you have a great opportunity to find one!
• Most reputable sites have testimonials from customers that give the shopper an idea of whether the product is all it supposed to be. Read them! I rarely stop fellow shoppers in a store to get their opinion, but I will always read a testimonial. I can pretty much insure that my hard earned money is being well spent. Isn't that something we all want?
• Hard to find items often can be found online. Wicking sleepwear is not easy to find in stores, but readily available on the internet. I recently found a certain type of briefcase for my husband on line that I was struggling to find in the real world.....reasonably priced too!

This past weekend, I was a bit of an internet shopping fiend. I went QVC wild. I watched the presentations, then jumped on my computer to order. I read the testimonials and picked up a couple of great deals. (All done while I was in my pajamas!)

Perimenopause, Menopause and High Blood Pressure

OK....as if weight gain, night sweats and hot flashes aren't enough, could it be that high blood pressure is another physical ailment affecting baby boomer women?

I am hoping that some of my readers may be able to offer information. Any sites, links or concrete information would be appreciated. What do you know? Has high blood pressure been something you have experienced during your transition into perimenopause or menopause?

Calling All Baby Boomers! Raise Your Vibration by Being Grateful

Happy Sunday Everyone!

There was so much doom and gloom this week with the given worldwide economic situation. You pretty much had to live under a rock not to hear any of it. In addition, Americans are being bombarded with constant political ads, mostly negative. I for one have had my fill!''

I am choosing, for today, to step away from all of this negativity and raise my vibrational level by focusing on the people and things in my life for which I have to be grateful. Please join me and add to my list!

• I am grateful that my daughter is home from college for a four day visit.
• I am grateful that I had a household of healthy, happy college students last night, and got to make breakfast for them this morning.
• I am grateful that I am having my family over for a roast beef dinner today.
• I am grateful that I have roast beef and mashed potatoes to cook!
• I am grateful that it is such a beautiful fall day today.
• I am grateful that the Phillies are in the playoffs and playing today....Go Phillies!
